Atlanta Cybertruck Accident Lawyer

Cybertruck sales are growing in the Atlanta metropolitan area. When design defects cause injuries, Georgia product liability law provides remedies against Tesla. The stainless steel body, electronic door systems, and massive battery create unique hazards documented in NHTSA recall data.

Documented Cybertruck Defects

• Electronic door failure trapping occupants (Recall 24V-855)
• Accelerator pedal cover detachment causing unintended acceleration
• Drive inverter failures causing loss of power
• Windshield wiper motor failures in rain
• Front trunk (frunk) failures—finger amputation risk
• Battery thermal runaway reaching 5,000°F

Georgia Product Liability Law

Under Georgia Code O.C.G.A. § 51-1-11, manufacturers are strictly liable for defective products. You don't need to prove Tesla knew about the defect—only that the defect existed and caused your injury.

Burn Injury Claims

Cybertruck battery fires can reach 5,000°F with NFPA guidelines requiring 3,000+ gallons of water to extinguish. If electronic doors fail during a fire, occupants face catastrophic burn injuries. These cases often settle for $1M+ due to disfigurement damages.

Filing Deadlines in Georgia

Product liability claims must be filed within 2 years of injury (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33) and within 10 years of first sale (statute of repose). Cases are filed in Fulton County Superior Court or where the accident occurred.

Settlement Examples

• Door failure preventing escape: $500,000-$2M
• Burn injuries from battery fire: $1M-$5M+
• Accelerator defect crashes: $200,000-$800,000
• Wrongful death cases: $2M-$10M+
